本書特色

1. 超貼近生活的50大主題+獨特的英式幽默,會話絕不越學越無聊!

本書的50個unit均以一名大學女生Amanda的生活為主軸。Amanda講話很直又帶點機車,寧可啃巧克力也不要啃書,絕不是個很禮貌又死讀書令你怎麼看都覺得「這世界上沒有這種人吧」的無聊主角。就跟著她聊遍八卦、開趴、吃喝玩樂等等各種歡樂話題!每篇對話也搭配關鍵單字與補充相關單字,加上精彩好懂的翻譯,讓你不至於看得霧煞煞。

?

2.

獨家分類三種片語補充:俚語、半固定表達、搭配詞,學到英國人天天在說的會話精髓!


「tell me about it」(真的吼?)、「been there, done that」(哪有什麼稀奇)、「what the heck」(是怎樣啦?)這些平常就很好用的會話,本書一次教你上百個,日常生活中活用最簡單活潑又實在!而「poor muggins」(敝人在下我)、「more power to your elbow」(祝你好運)這些連美國人都不見得搞得清楚的英國專屬用語,也通通為你奉上!

?

3.

全英國腔超道地MP3!英美發音差別詳細標註!


徐志摩:「滿載一船星輝,在星輝斑斕裡放歌……」但我不能放歌,因為我的英國腔不夠好聽。沒關係!這本的會話有專業英國籍老師錄音,走到哪裡都可以好容易沉浸在令你全身酥麻的氣質英國腔中!美國腔fans也不用難過,這本書中標註出英美發音差異處,並貼心附上美國腔音標,一次學兩種,真的好有效率!

?

4.

名校御聘英文老師出馬出題,聽完會話馬上能練習!


別有壓力,這不是考試,拿枝筆自己試試看吧!每個unit均有三種不同的題型:「理解力連連看」、「搭配詞填填看」與「看句子換換看」。剛學到的句

子意思到底是什麼?該用在怎樣的情境裡?快來動動腦,學習成果立見分曉!

?

5.

一樣的事說法卻有百百種,一段對話兩種變身,舉一反三活用好好玩!


喜歡玩大家來找碴的各位注意了!本書每個unit的對話都教你「這段字詞換一個方式講,可以怎麼講?」,因為同樣的事本來就有很多不同的方法可以說。試著把字詞代換進去,練習看看兩個版本的對話,在過程中把可以互相替代的同義用法學起來吧!

?

不去英國,不念劍橋,一樣也能成為英倫風英語高手。這本書的效果,套用一句徐志摩的話:

「不說也罷,說來你們也是不信的!」

【作者序】

As an experienced English professor, one of the problems that I often notice in textbooks is that the subjects covered are so—how should I say it—unpractical. I wouldn’t say that they’re useless, no. It’s just that though they work very well in a classroom

setting, you can’t really expect to use what you learn in these textbooks elsewhere.


擔任英文教授多年,我常在英文課本中發現一個問題,就是裡面的題材都??怎麼講,就是不太實用。不是說課本沒用喔,只是雖然在教室裡上這些題材很OK,但離開教室就不太能把課本上的這一套搬出來用。

?

Let’s say, for example, that you run into an English native speaker while waiting for the elevator (or waiting for the bus, or waiting in line to buy xiaolongbao, whichever you prefer). Do you tell them about the very touching story you read on your

textbook about how someone’s elderly mother supported him through all sorts of hardships? You don’t.



怎麼說呢?舉例來講,如果你在等電梯、等公車、排隊買小籠包等等時遇到一個英文母語人士,你會跟他說你在課本上讀到一個很感人的故事,主角的老媽媽努力工作支持他讀書嗎?不會吧。

?

And let’s say, for example, that you and said English native speaker eventually become friends. You meet up for brunch. As you both attack your egg benedicts with your forks, do you describe the inspiring article you saw on your textbook about how some

really successful business man manages his time? You don’t.


再舉例來講,想像一下你和那個英文母語人士後來變成朋友,一起去吃早午餐。當你們舉起叉子準備要好好吃一頓班尼迪克蛋時,你會跟他說你在課本上看到一篇很有啟發性的文章,關於一個成功的商業鉅子如何進行時間管理嗎?也不會吧。

?

What I’m saying isn’t that textbooks are not useful. Not at all. Textbooks are really great for learning English. The point I’m trying to make is that no matter in what language, you don’t make friends by talking like a textbook. Therefore, while you

do need your textbook to learn English, you also need something else to help with your daily English conversations. And it is my aim to make this book a helpful guide that can serve as that “something else”.


所以啦,我要說的不是「課本不實用」,一點都不是這樣。課本很實用的,對於學英文真的很有幫助。我要講的重點是,無論你是用哪種語言,你都不會用課本上的內容來交朋友。你還是需要一些「別的東西」來幫你搞定日常生活聊天用的會話,而我寫這本書就是希望它能成為這個「別的東西」。

?

In this book, you will find conversations on only the sort of subjects you talk about between friends (gossip, roommates, relationships, parties, things like that). And the conversations won’t be the stiff kind you find in textbooks—instead, I did my

best to make the dialogues flow smoothly and use down-to-earth vocabulary and sentence structures. Because, to be quite honest, you just don’t use complicated English sentence structures while chatting with friends. I also enjoyed making the conversations

as “English” as possible, for my goal in mind is to give you all a good idea on what to expect if you make a British friend or happen to travel to the UK. We English have our own unique sense of humour, somewhat different from the Americans. See? We even spell

humour differently!


在這本書中,你所學到的會話都是和朋友們會聊的話題(八卦、室友、人際關係、開趴等等),而對話中的句子也不會像課本裡面那樣感覺硬梆梆。我盡力讓這些句子念起來很順、

很平易近人、也不會有很難很恐怖的單字和句型,因為說真的,跟朋友聊天的時候,誰會用很難的英文句型啊?我也盡力把這些會話寫得很「英國」,因為我想讓大家感受一下,如果交個英國朋友、或去英國旅行,大概會遇到怎樣的事情。我們英國人的幽默感跟美國人就是有那麼一點點不一樣,就連我們拼「幽默」(humour)的方式都跟他們不一樣喔。

?

However, I understand that some of you prefer to go the American way, so I very nicely picked out for you the words that are pronounced differently in British English and American English, and provided the correct pronunciation in American English, so

that you wouldn’t be too lost when listening to the very authentically British recording in the MP3 that comes with this book. I also made sure to put ample practice sections throughout the book and introduce key vocabulary, idioms, phrases, expressions and

word partnerships, so as to make your learning experience not only fun but also fulfilling. You can refer to the following section, “User’s Guide”, for more detailed descriptions on how to use this book and find the things you need efficiently.


不過,我知道你們有些人是美國派,所以我精心挑出了英國腔英文和美國腔英文念起來不一樣的地方,並附上美式英文的正確發音,這樣聽本書附上的純英國腔錄音MP3時,你才不會心慌慌。我也在書中加入不少練習題、還有關鍵單字、慣用語、片語、表達方式和搭配詞,讓你的學習過程不但好玩,而且也很充實。想搞清楚這本書怎麼用最快最有效率也最實在,你可以翻到後面的「使用說明」看個更清楚。

?

Before I leave you all to wade through my book, I would like you to remember one more important thing: to learn to speak English, you have to, well, speak. Practice is the key to successful learning, and I believe that if you practise one dialogue a

day, you’ll soon be amazed at how your English has grown. Your confidence in speaking will be sky-high and when a wild foreigner appears you will have plenty to talk about!



最後,我還要提醒大家一件重要的事:要會講英文,你就得??講英文。要多練習才會學得快嘛!我相信,如果你一天練習一段對話,你很快就會發現你的英文能力成長之快速的,連你自己都嚇一跳!如果路上忽然有外國人冒出來,你跟他就有源源不絕的話題可以說,而且你更會擁有滿滿的自信!

?

Happy speaking!

快去聊吧!

【精彩內文】

Unit1Teachers教師

此會話使用場景: ? 和同學躲在廁所偷聊天時?

和朋友電話哈拉時 ? 校園一角巧遇老朋友時

在看看、聽聽這段對話前,先來學學一些老外天天在講的片語吧!這些片語都能在接下來的對話中找到,先瞭解它們的意思,看對話才更容易。這裡教的片語還可以分成俚語、半固定的表達方式、搭配詞三種,這三種有什麼差別呢?到底各代表什麼意思?更詳細的解說可以翻到使用說明看看喔!

Idioms 俚語

「俚語」即英文中聊天必講的慣用語。以中文舉例,「你有病喔」、「恭喜發財」等這些常掛在嘴邊但剛學中文的人不見得懂的字句,都屬於這一類。

俚語?rack one’s brains ?還可以說成??to make a big intellectual effort??中文意思?絞盡腦汁.

俚語?what the heck?? ? ??還可以說成??what the hell? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 中文意思 ?這是怎樣啊?(表示強調之意).

Semi-fixed expressions 半固定的表達方式

「半固定搭配詞」雖然還沒有進入「俚語」的殿堂(沒有那麼常用),不過也不遠矣,現在也有很多很多人在說囉!

半固定的表達方式 ?don’t get me started on that ?還可以說成??don’t ask me about that??中文意思?別提了!別逼我發表意見!

半固定的表達方式 ?you’re not the only one??還可以說成??you are not alone; me too??中文意思??不只你啊,我也是

Word partnerships 搭配詞

「搭配詞」就是指兩個(或以上)的單字很習慣在一起出現,雖然跟別的單字一起出現也行,但就是覺得癢癢的,好像哪裡不對。以中文舉例,我們會說「卑鄙無恥」,但雖然「惡劣」的意思跟「卑鄙」也蠻像的,我們就是不會說「惡劣無恥」。為什麼?因為習慣嘛!

搭配詞?straightforward?enough 還可以說成???pretty easy to understand?中文意思?夠好懂

搭配詞?the main problem?還可以說成???the biggest obstacle?中文意思?最大的問題

?

Dialogue:電話裡偷說老師壞話

接下來就來聽聽看這段生活會話吧!剛剛學到的片語都有在這段對話中出現。我們將英國腔美國腔聽起來特別不一樣的單字特別套色標註出來,並在後面附上美式念法的音標。特別是音節尾巴的「r」音,與有

/?/ 母音的單字,在英美念法中都有很大的不同,邊聽邊對照著看看吧!

?

Sue: How’s it going with your classes?

Amanda: Don’t get me started

on that!

Sue: What’s wrong? Is the

course
too difficult for my “little 1genius”?

Amanda: No. The textbooks and

material we get are 2straightforward enough. However, the main problem

is that two of my teachers have very poor English. Most of the time, I have to rack my brains trying to figure out

what the heck they’re on about!

Sue: Well, you’re not the only one who is

moaning about the quality of the English programmes offered in this 3uni. I

reckon you and I are in the same boat!

Amanda: Well, with that scholarship,

at least you don’t have to work your ass off to make some cash

as poor muggins here does.

Sue: But you’re getting some work experience now, which will help you get a job in the future.

Amanda: Well, you do have a point I guess. You know, you do have a 4knack

for finding the silver lining and talking to you is always comforting. You should be a professional agony aunt.

Sue: Tell me about it! Many people have suggested that. I will consider it seriously when my workload is much less. I don’t want to

bite off more than I can chew.

Amanda: Smart gal, you are! Sorry. Have to

dash. Duty calls. My teacher handed out a long reading list yesterday for us to go through and I’ve

barely started it.

Sue: Good luck with that and I’m sorry I

can’t help you there.

Amanda: I wish my teacher would speak English more like you do, seriously.

Sue: Tough luck. I wish I was a teacher, then I can rake in the money. But anyway off you go and try to

be positive. It’s all a matter of

perspective.

Amanda: Since when have you become so 5philosophical?

Sue: Well. It just goes to show that

I have more 6depth than you thought. I’m not just a pretty face, you know!
